Plot

In New York City, a single mom captivates her new neighbor, a much younger man.

Sandy, upon discovering her husband's infidelity while watching her son's birthday video, leaves the suburbs and moves into the city. She gets an apartment that's above a coffee house where she befriends one of the workers, Aram, a guy whose wife only married him so she could get a green card. Aram's family thinks he's wasting his life and education by working in the coffee house. Soon after moving into the apartment, Sandy hires Aram to be her nanny while she takes on work for the first time since her children were born. It isn't long when Aram and Sandy find they get along wonderfully and start to date. But the question is: is their relationship real or is it, in fact, just a rebound for both of them?—jenn_1586@yahoo.com

Aram Finklestein is a smart, shy last year business management student from an ambitious Jewish New York family, but refuses to be pushed into either rat race or a semi-arranged marriage, traumatized by the French exchange student 'wife' Alice who dumped him after getting her green card. So he takes menial jobs, like deli barista with a womanizer mate, who envies and encourages him when customer Sandy (45), not nearly over her divorce but with custody of pleasant rascal Frank and shameless brat Sadie, is surprised to hear him agree to babysit the pair while she tries dates arranged by her no-good friend Daphne. Aram repeats the service to everyone's satisfaction, but family-like affection grows, they date and he stands up for his clients against her presumptuous ex. Yet she can't handle the age difference, so their ways separate for years.—KGF Vissers

A housewife and mother of two, Sandy (Catherine Zeta-Jones) who is really good at fantasy basketball leagues, discovers that her husband has been unfaithful. Sandy is also a Germophobe and sanitizes herself and her kids meticulously.

Sandy was looking at a stray video footage from her son's birthday party, where her husband got recorded getting a blow job. After a hasty divorce, she moves to New York City with her young son Frank (Andrew Cherry) & daughter Sadie (Kelly Gould). There, they begin a new life. Sandy is great at compiling statistics and gets a job at a sports news channel (SNN) in the back office as a fact checker.

Sandy rents an apartment above a coffee house and befriends one of the baristas, Aram Finklestein (Justin Bartha). At age 25, Aram is not sure what he wants to do with his life having just separated. His wife was a French woman who married him for a green card. His parents Harry Finklestein (Art Garfunkel) & Roberta Finklestein (Joanna Gleason) are asking him to move on with his life. Mitch (Rob Kerkovich) is Aram's best friend. Mitch wants Aram to move on from his French wife and wants him to hook up with Sandy. Mitch tells Sandy that Aram is a great babysitter and would be happy to look after the kids for her.

Meanwhile Sandy's friend gets her a date with her chiropractor.

Despite having a college degree, Aram is aimless and gets a job at a women's center. The center is run by Laura (Lynn Whitfield). After being flashed by a homeless man, Sandy decides to take a self-defense class at the women's center. The class is taught by Dana (Alice Playten).

During a self-defense class at the women's center where Aram plays the perpetrator, Sandy unleashes an "ocean of anger" on him. Dana explains the Ocean of Anger as a pool of negative energy that women accumulate over time for every wrong that is done to them, including sexual remarks, being underpaid even after being better than men, cheating husbands, racism and so on. Sandy connects with the sentiment and really unloads her pent-up frustration with her husband on Aram.

The next day, she goes to the coffee-shop to apologize to him and asks him to babysit her kids, when she goes out on dates. The date is going well, with a doctor, but then the doctor goes into a public toilet (like a Port-A-Potty by the side of the street) and wants to have a conversation with Sandy, while he does his "business". This creeps Sandy out. Then he keeps touching Sandy with his unwashed hands. Then in the middle of dinner he gives Sandy a neck adjustment and even indicates that he wants to have anal sex with her. Sandy leaves when the doctor asks her to touch his penis in the middle of their cab ride home. At work, Sandy is doing well, and one of the news anchors asks Sandy to write for her directly.

Meanwhile, Aram is great with the kids, and they love spending time with him. Aram becomes a full-time nanny for the family and develops a close-knit relationship with the children; and a chemistry starts to brew between Aram and Sandy. Aram and Sandy continue to have bad dating experiences individually.

Aram asks Sandy out on a date. Sandy learns that Aram let go of a really good job, in order to be her nanny. Aram says that the people in his life are important to him. They come back home where Sandy's husband drops off the kids, and says he wants her back. Aram helps Sandy tell her husband what she really feels about him and tells him that she is done with him It eventually culminates in an awkward sexual encounter that the children come to know about when they see them having sex on the couch.

Notwithstanding, Sandy and Aram start to date; and, after two months, they seem perfect together. One day, Sandy feels nauseated and suspects she is pregnant. Aram is thrilled and looks forward to raising a child with her. A doctor confirms that Sandy is pregnant, but it is an Ectopic pregnancy and will result in a miscarriage.

As they leave the doctor, a fight breaks out between Aram and Sandy, with the latter confirming that she thinks it's ludicrous that the two of them, with an age difference of 15 years, would ever be happy together. After the breakup, Aram decides to travel the world and to experience new things. Sandy is promoted at her sports news job to anchor.

After five years, the two meet again in a chance encounter at a Chinese restaurant. Aram reveals he has adopted a young boy from Bangladesh and is still single. Sandy, who is celebrating another promotion with her children and a colleague, invites Aram and his family to join them. The film ends as the two hold hands underneath the table whilst their children start to bond implying that they went on to rekindle their relationship.
